The rooftop pool and lounge area were fabulous, especially for early morning sunrises. The limited breakfast was changed daily for variety. The attached restaurant was convenient, with tasty options at a reasonable rate.

Rooms were clean and very affordable, only issue was disruptive guests coming in and out of the dorm being loud and turning lights on, I think if dorm rules were unforced it would be more pleasant. Maybe having dorms for older people would help. Staff was great and always cleaning and being helpful, the facilities were top notch! Restaurant was great, prices were affordable and staff are there to help with all your needs. Also bathrooms and common areas were very well maintained I’m hoping to stay again soon

Stayed in an 8 woman bunk room. Beds were comfortable and it was pretty quiet except for one woman who snored one night. Bathrooms were very clean, hot water, outlets. Appreciated the WhatsApp messaging that allowed us to team up to partake in day events like snorkeling and Secret Beach. Greatly benefited from the free washer and dryer. About a 7 minute walk to the Caribbean Sprinter water taxi. The attached Sandbar Bar and Grill was fabulous. Will be back!

This place is great! I meet so many awesome people. The beds are super comfortable!! Definitely the best hostel beds I've ever slept in. And, ALLEN, at the front desk, IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! So are the bartenders at the attached bar/restaurant. Fyi, you will probably like Caye Caulker way more. But the hostels are terrible on that island. So I stayed here and ferried over to Caye Caulker.

Newly renovated so there’s a few old pics if you’re looking on Google. 3rd story private room was nice and clean, ice cold AC. No elevator, no ac in halls, stairwells or main lobby. Nice view from the shared balcony. There’s a great restaurant/bar on the dock right in front of the hotel, very convenient.
